Not great many people outside the
newspaper offices made the acquaint-
ance of CHARLES E. ROCHE. of the Chi
cagO News, who was here last week as
the press agent of the Boston Ideals,
and those who did not may count them
selves unfortunate, as Mr. ROCHE is as
companiOnable man as one might find
in days journey. He has had rather
an interesting career, too, though it
takes some little time to induce him to
overcome his native modeSty far enough
to talk about himself. Though forty
years old, he looks twenty-five. Back in
the sixties he was SchOOlmate OF the
Marquis of LOrne-Mr. ROCHE himself
is an Englishman, and the friendship
then formed has been maintained ever
since. When the marquis and Princess
LOUISE made their famous tour of the
country ROCHE was invited to go along
and was the only newspaper man pres
ent, though, of course, he was with the
royal party as guest and not in pro-
feSsional capacity. He always had a
restless, rowing disposition. and, on bust
ness for his government, has visited
nearly all of Europe, India and Austria
liza. Finally he reached Chicago and
settled down there as an emplOye OF the
News. He has sister married to the
youngest son of CHARLES DICKENS and
carries constantly photograph of his
little nephews and nieceS, whose like
ness to their famous grandfather is
striking Mr.. ROCHE enjoys the
unique distinction of knowing person
ally more prominent professional PEG
pie than any other newspaper man living
and possesses albums containing auto
graph letters for which he has been Of
fered 81 200. Wanting to get out of the
newspaper harness for a rest, he en-
gagged with Manager FOSTER to 20

Captain Willis was no sooner on

"Call the crew aft, Mr.. Hardy" he
said. Give word to say to them"
They came, most of them sauntering
along with their hands in their pockets,
and looking altogether very unlike a
good ships company. The four
negroes stood in a group by them
selves. Dick Purvis stood with his cap
in his hand, in an attitude of respectful
attention; the others were collected
behind these. Captain Willis surveyed
them moment with an eye like a
hawk, and then spoke clearly and dis
tinctly:

well nigh forty years, and I've COM

THE MINOR ARTS.

Should Be Considered Trifling.
No industry or art can be regarded
as trifling when a poor person can
make living by it, or when any
number of people, old or young. find
in it amusement, relaxation or in
struction. have known many fam
lilies in which the practice of the minor
arts was discouraged under mis-
taken impression that it caused a waste
of time, or induced tastes and habits
which disqualified the young from
forming business habits.' This is a
great mistake. All practical arts,
however small, induce habits of pa

form habits of thinking; for. as men have
composed books while making shoes.

more especially that which interests
us, develops the constructive faculties;
that is to say, makes us apt with the

have their good effects as moral dis

All luxuries have their attendant

of his own capability. is only too
likely to become martinez A Rus
sian lady, living in Paris, says that
she was once invited to breakfast in an
| questionable quarter of the city,
across the Seine. She accepted the
invitation, delivered in person; but
her prospective hostess said. mischiev-
ously: "You will be wise to start in

'.And why?''
''Oh, that magnificent coachman of
yours will never take his fine horses
and gorgeous harness to my humble
door" e&ssa
"Nonsenser' replied the other. 'tHe
does what 1 tell. him, though he is
sometimes rebeious."
Resolved to prepare for demur, she
gave the coachman his order the night
before, and boldly specified her route.

swered, imperturbabEy.
Assured of victory, she was ready at
the appointed hour, but the carriage
did not appear. After time arrived
the coachman, overcome with regret.
He was SO sorry, he was moons olable;
but one of the horses was indisposed,
and could not be taken out 1t was
too late to investigate, and madame
contented herself with sending tele-

asking her new coachman to drive to

'Ah, is that sop was the calm reply.
''Well, suppose you drive to c.

his first remark.
'Indeed? Then to Willow street.
Do you object to that distance?''
"Well, mum, it's further. by good

Every we'll; We'll say Spring street."
By this time it began to dawn upon
the man that the distance was being
regularly and purposely longthened,
and he said no more. after giving
rather sulky assent to her caution to
drive slowly. When they reached
home, after an hours drive, the mis-
tress examined the horses with solicit

THE SOUTHERN FLAGS.
After-Thoughts Which Appeal Forcibly to
an Intelligent Mind.


Now that there is no danger of the
battle flags being returned, we may
perhaps carefully discuss the whole sit
uation in regard to them. We have
held from the first that 1t would be a
great mistake to return them. We
should rather have all the battle flags
of both sides turned over to the United
States Government, not to be put
away where they would decay and do
nobody any good, but to be kept and
preserved from decay. as mementoes of
a past age, when the present age be-
comes past age.
In the heat of the moment good
deal has been said which those who
said it would now be glad to recall.
There is no occasion for any deadly
strife over the matter. There was no
plot of any kind. No Southern
State has imperiousiy demanded its
battle flags.

The crew fell back, dumb and con-
quered by this stern exhibition of au-
thority. The mate speedily assem-
bled them at the capstan, the anchor
came up, the sails were spread, slowly
and awkwardly, and the bark with
wind and current in her favor, so that
nothing was needed, sailed out past
the frowning guns of Moro Castle, and
to the open sea.
The Captain paced the after-deck,
and watched the mate as he moved
about among the crew. Cool as the
man had been through this exciting
scene, he now began to feel the revul-
sion as the strain was removed. He
wanted some one to talk to, and looked
around for Louis, but he had gone
down into the cabin.

Hardy, since this thing has happened
in port, it would ordinarily be correct

William E. Chandler is the Red
Shirt of the American Sioux.-Boston
Globe.
There is to be in the near future
a terrible rivalry between Senator
Sherman and General Fairchild. Sher-
mans bloody shirt has somewhat lost
it's novelty, but those three kinds of
palsy which the General keeps in his
waistcoat pocket are ''gems of purest

The Presidential boom of Old
Solidity Allison, the Dubuque heavy
weight, may properly enough be de-
scribed as a contingent remainder.
That is, it is contingent upon Mr..
Blaine's having no use for his own
boom and handing the leavings of it
to the Iowan. Mr.. Allison has no
present vested interest, but his expec-
tations are fne.-N. Y San.
The rate at which New York
and Brooklyn Republicans are forsak-
ing that party and joining the De-
mocracy, threatens to depopulate the
bloody shirt organization. The alb
surdity of raking up issues that were
settled more than quarter of a cent
ury ago, evidently does not meet the
approval of the more intelligent adj
herants of the party of "great moral
ideas. ''-Lcckport (N ~ Union.

NEW YORK FASHION LETTER.

Especial Correspondence
Newiy-imported Paris dresses show the
soft Bengalme foulard, and India silks,
made up with voluminous draperies OF the
most irregular arrangement, no two gowns
being alike, the sides of each dress being
draped differently. Very frequently this
variety is carried so far as to make one
half the dress like polonaise, while the
other half is a medium-long basque with
short full tunic drapery. This caprice is
not confined to light summer silks, but is
noticeable also in stylishly- made tailor
suits of cloth of various patterns, and also
in cashmere and tricot fabrics A design
